Is it normal that I'm 16 and have never jerked off?

The title pretty much says it all.
Is it normal that I'm 16 and have never jerked off?

[Tristin.]

yes, it is normal, very uncommon, but normal. Nothing is un-normal when it comes to stuff like this, just less common. If you dont want to jack off, then dont, if you want to then go ahead, its your choice and either way its normal.

[Firemisson]

I would say...yes.

But may i ask why haven't you jerked off before!? :s

[Xerxes]

I just don't see how it is appealing, and quite honestly, i don't really know how to do it

[Tristin.]

as i said, if you dont want to, dont. if you do want to, and want to see how to, go to adult sites or google it, you may be surprised what you learn and what you already know

hope this helps :)

It depends what you call normal. Its not normal in the sense that almost all teen boys masturbate, well over 90%, so not to do so is unusual. However, that doesnt mean there's anything wrong if you dont, its your choice, if it doesnt appeal to you then that's fine. Most guys would prefer to avoid the mess from wet dreams.

If you aren't bothered about sex, you might still want a relationship and your partner will almost certainly want to have sex, so it might be a good idea to get medical advice. I was wondering if it links to lower testosterone levels (which means less horniness) which might also affect your development, but if everything looks about the same as other guys your age thats probably fine.
Other than those points I can't see its a problem, could even be an advantage in some ways.

[SWMG]

Well it actually really not common but is up to you wether to do or not

[OhMightyLion]

It's normal but I guess it's also uncommon but it's ok! Some guys don't jerk-off.

[Sebastian Michaelis]

perfectly normal but not common

[MoveAlong]

It's "okay" and "normal", meaning there's no harm, but it is not common. Bordering on rare.

And if I were you, I'd grab some lotion and go to town right now.

[LilTurtle]

normal----- maybe
unheard of----- until now

[SammyGoNuts]

If it's not "common" or "usual", I don't know how it would qualify as normal. As has been said, though, there's nothing wrong with it.

[cantwebefriends]

Its totally fine but very oh so very uncommon lol dont knock it till you try it.

[iceyfresh]

Quite simply it is your descision. In this case there truly is no normal or un-normal although there is common and uncommon. Most people do or have tried and some havn't. It is a personal choice.

I just don't see how it is appealing, and quite honestly, i don't really know how to do it
There are hundreds of ways to learn, there are adult website and a site that has been spoken alot about around here known as,
http://www.jackinworld.com/
Hope i helped :)

[Ihaveleftforever]

Haha it is normal :)

[AnonymousUser]

93% of men have masturbated before the age of 20.

[Donkey]

Eh, to be honest it's normal but if I were you I'd give it a go (look: jackinworld) and if you don't like it, you needn't do it again.

[Gremlin]

I wouldn't say it was abnormal it is just uncommon most guys do masturbate but its your choice.

[indieboy]

yeah totally normal. it's not a necessity in life to masturbate. a lot of boys never find the need to, or have no interest in doing it.

=)

[Funnyguy]

its fine, but your way behind now though... you should get on that. its amazing

[greekboy]

Normal - yes, definitely, but quite unusual by your age.
Have you tried. You say you don't know what to do but you obviously have internet connection so I suggest that you start studying hard

[Sean the Griffin]

I just don't see how it is appealing, and quite honestly, i don't really know how to do it

Ok like other guys have said, its your choice and if you dont find it appealing, thats OK. But if the real reason is that you just dont know how to do it, Jackinworld is good but its a kinda complicated site. Just to understand the basic way of masturbating I'd go to Wikipedia and enter Masturbation in the search box, then if you scroll down to the section headed Male you'll get a very clear explanation of how to do it plus a photo (not porn).

Except if youre uncut (like me) you wont need the lotion cos your foreskin will take care of that side of things

[Andrew0017]

You're perfectly fine. In all honesty I don't like to jerk off. I did it once when I was 14 out of curiosity but that's it. Any time I have done it since then is when I'm mutually masturbating with my girlfriend, and I don't even like to do that a lot because it makes my dick sore. :whoops:
Not every guy does, and someone's lying if they tell you that they all do.

[bImperial]

ya its preaty normal but if you going to try get a good bit of tissues ready

[Wicked_Syn]

That's kinda a freak of nature there man, but yeah...i guess your normal. You can just keep your mind clear of that im assuming.

[emt.Cam]

There's really no such thing as "normal" these days. What is normal? It's how one perceives the elements of normal. It's completely fine to not masturbate; as many have said, it's more "unheard" of. If you ever decide to -as you've stated, you "don't really know how"- it's not hard and you'll acquire your own style. Best of luck, Alex!

[VerizoniPhone]

Yea is normal but y not try. ITS SOOOOOO RELAXING. lol

[Jed69]

dude, idk how you can go like 4-5 years without jacking off. havent you ever gotten and urge or anything ??

[jimmy-magic]

It's more uncommon that not normal, its deffinetely normal, its just rare, i think especially for males.

[ManU]

I think most guys have, but it could be normal.
